Impressive and enchanting, one of the biggest tombs of Imperial China, Ming Xiaoling is the tomb of the Hongwu Emperor, the founder of the Ming Dynasty. Today, this tomb, located at the foot of the Purple Mountain, features greenery around the magnificient architecture of the tomb. The tomb is divided into two sections - the Sacred Way area and the main body of the mausoleum itself. The place is situated just outside the city and has a large park with buildings and various statues in it. It is lovely in the autumn because of the many plum trees in the sprawling garden around it. The tomb is indeed imposing and worth visiting. The statues of the stone animals in the tomb are quite unique. It is worth a visit for those who take an interest in the majestic times of China.
